Chapter 110: Get the son of the Pirate King! (Three updates, please subscribe!)
"Vongola Storm."
"Huh?"
"What do you think of...'One Piece' See?”
Ace was silent for a long time, and finally asked this question coquettishly.
"One Piece?"
Storm raised his eyebrows and asked with some interest.
"Are you talking about this world? Or are you talking about your father?"
"...Roger!"
Ace held it in for a while, as if he was being awkward. Like a kid, he forced himself to say his father's name.
"Pirate King Roger...what do you think of him?"
Ace didn't know where Storm knew that he was Roger's son.
But apart from his "family", Storm was also the first "outsider" Ace met who knew his life experience.
And judging from the attitude shown by Storm just now...
The other party does not have the fear, disgust, and rejection of "One Piece" like ordinary people do. .
Growing up, apart from his "family", Ace almost lived in a social environment that was hostile to "One Piece", and very few people had different views on "One Piece".
"So you are talking about your father..."
Storm stared at the barbecue of the Offshore King, thought silently for a while, and finally commented.
"A poor man who was born at the wrong time."
"...Huh?"
After hearing Storm's words, Ace was instantly dumbfounded.
He expected Storm to give him a different answer.
But I didn’t expect it to be “different” to this extent!
Poor man?
Even Ace has never felt that the word "poor" can be associated with his father's image.
"From a pirate's perspective, your father's life is indeed quite legendary. He sailed on the sea for so many years and accomplished great achievements that no one could accomplish in the past hundreds of years."
said. At this point, Storm changed the subject.
"But it's a pity. If your father could have been born eight hundred years earlier, then he might have been the 'savior', and he was the 'savior' who won the final victory.
" If Dad could have been born five or sixty years later, then he might have become the 'savior' of this generation.
“But it’s a pity that your father was born in the wrong era.”
Ace's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard the words "Your dad".
"What's so pitiful about this? My dad - no, Roger is the Pirate King!"
"Yes, I know, so what?"
Storm looked at Ace a little strangely.
“Your father is the Pirate King, but this does not affect my evaluation of him.
"And to be honest, from the perspective of a pirate, your father is quite successful.
"But from other perspectives, he is also an out-and-out loser in life.
“But, forget it, death is a big deal.”
What the hell is “death is a big deal”?
A few more veins popped up on Ace's forehead.
"Vongola, the reason why you came to me is because I am... the son of the Pirate King?"
"It may be partly because of this. After all, I am the son of the Pirate King. What is it like? Like such an amazing super celebrity, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to meet him.”
Storm said very calmly.
“However, the reason why I decided to recruit you has nothing to do with your identity.
“I will recruit you because your potential is strong enough and you should be able to grow in the future. For a good helper.
"In addition, changing the direction of this world... is also one of my goals."
The degree of Frankness of Storm was somewhat beyond Ace's expectation.
Ace was silent for a while.
“Don’t you think the ‘son of the Pirate King’ is some kind of devil’s descendant?”
“Huh? Are you trying to compete with Douglas Barrett for your nickname?”
"What?"
"Douglas Barrett, your father's intern on the pirate team, his nickname is 'Devil's Descendant'."
"What on earth is this guy you are talking about?" Who is it? I don’t know him!”
Ace snorted and looked away.
"Besides, my dad - Roger is Roger, I am me, what does the intern on the Roger Pirates have to do with me."
"That's quite right."
Storm nodded. Seeing that the barbecue in the King of the Sea was almost done, he turned it over slowly.
"Your father is your father, and you are you.
"I can't arrest you and send you to the Navy Headquarters or the World Government just because you are the 'son of the Pirate King' , and then publicly execute you like your father to shock the world...
"That would be too sad.
"In this world, no one should be destined to die as soon as he is born."
Storm's last words.
It was like a bullet that hit Ace directly in the heart.
“Hello, Vongola.”
“What?”
"I have already decided to go to sea and become a pirate."
"Oh, I know."
"Originally, I wanted to go to sea alone and be my own captain. ."
"What about now?"
"..."
Ace fell silent again, seeming to be organizing his words.
Under Storm's calm gaze.
Ace said a long speech.
“The ‘red hair’, ‘straw hat’, ‘destiny’, ‘devil fruit’ you are talking about... I don’t even understand, and I don’t know if they are true.
"However, since you said they are all related to my brother, then I can't let this matter go.
"I can act with you, but I am not your crew member."
Storm smiled, picked up a grilled offshore king meat skewer, and handed it to Ace .
"You're too awkward, Ace. Even the little girl I recruited before didn't have such an awkward personality as you."
Speaking of it.
It has been several days since Storm left the Konomi Islands where Cocosia Village is located.
After this trip to Dawn Island is over, let's return to the Conomi Islands...
"My personality is not awkward!"
Ace took the barbecue and took a bite. The hot barbecue made him exhale repeatedly.
"Hufu...it's so hot, so hot!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Storm laughed again.
After Ace finally finished eating the piece of meat in his mouth, he continued to ask.
"Besides me, who else have you recruited? Is that the stupid big guy just now?"
"No, that clay doll just now is the former King Shichibukai ·King of Lizards Hanavda.”
Speaking of this, Storm couldn’t help but glance at Ace. Ace's talent level is really great.
If it weren't for Storm's intervention.
The person who truly defeated the Lizard King is Ace!
In just one year after going to sea, he defeated the famous Oishi Shichibukai.
And he is also an animal type and ancient Devil Fruit user who can do sit-ups.
This record is already very strong!
Ace nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I know! The newspaper said that you defeated that Shichibukai and then took his place."
"Yes... I have someone else under my command."
The figures of Robin and others flashed in Storm's mind.
“By the way, Ace, there is one thing I need to remind you.
"My subordinates, to be precise, the two people inside, may dislike you very much."
Ace squeezed the fish's flesh tightly in his palm.
"Why? Because of my identity."
"Not just because of this."
Ström shook his head and explained casually.
"Two of them are from the South China Sea, and one of them was born in 1501."
Ace tilted his head, and several big question marks vaguely appeared on it.
"I don't understand what you said..."
"To put it simply..."
Storm gave a rough account.
"In 1500, your father died of a serious illness, surrendered to the navy, and was publicly executed;
"After that, the World Government discovered your existence inexplicably.
“In order to find you, the world government and navy launched a very large-scale manhunt in the South China Sea. At that time, a large number of pregnant women and babies were ‘processed’, causing many human tragedies.
"...Hey, why are you showing such a low expression now? "
Ace said with self-blame and pain.
"So those people... all died because of me, right?"
"Ah? Are you mentally ill?"
Storm's words were elegant and gentle.
"This matter has something to do with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, your father, your mother, and that old man Garp can't escape responsibility.
"But you?
"You were just a bunch of cells at that time, or even just - cough! No one should blame you anyway!"
The words are rough but not rough.
In Storm's view.
People have no way to decide their own birth.
When the World Government and the Navy Headquarters launched a manhunt in the South China Sea, Ace was still in his fucking stomach!
How could such a thing be blamed on Ace who was not yet born?
Storm’s words were a bit unpleasant.
But at least it eased Ace's guilt.
"When I meet those two people, I will apologize to them again..."
"...It's up to you, but whether they will accept it or not is not under my jurisdiction. Within the scope.”
The two people Storm was talking about were none other than Kidd and Kira.
Kira was born in 1497 and Kidd was born in 1501.
And if Storm remembers correctly.
At least Kira knew about the "South China Sea Navy arresting pregnant women and babies". (Chapter 43)
It is very likely that these two people were both personal experiencers of the "South China Sea Manhunt" that year...
Storm thought about it and suddenly frowned.
“Why do I suddenly feel something is not right?”
Ace, who was eating the King of the Sea barbecue, raised his head in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“If you are included, the composition of my team seems a bit strange!”
Storm's expression became a little strange.
Big Bear is a descendant of the Bakania tribe.
Bonnie is Saint Satan's test subject.
Robin is O'Hara's successor.
Ace is the son of the Pirate King.
That is to say.
There are four people in Storm’s team who are unwavering enemies of the World Government!
In other words, the life experiences of him, Kidd, Kira and Nami are relatively "innocent".
Ace didn’t understand what Storm said.
“What’s going on?”
"It's nothing...it's all the fault of the World Government!"
Storm stopped talking nonsense and accelerated his eating of meat.
Seeing this, Ace on the side felt an inexplicable desire to win, and he also speeded up his eating speed.
A huge offshore king.
Storm and Ace quickly ate it up.
Ace was stretched out like a balloon and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Storm’s belly was also bulging.
But he just took a deep breath, and [Life Return] started to operate quickly.
It takes just one breath.
Storm's body shape returned to its original appearance.
Ace was shocked when he witnessed this scene with his own eyes.
“Huh!?”
“Only seventy percent full!”
Storm touched his belly and then looked at Ace.
"Ace, do you want to leave with me now, or do you want to say goodbye to your brother and the others?"
"I'd better go back to Mount Colpo first."
Ace looked at the sea not far away, with a flash of desire in his eyes.
"At least...get to meet Luffy and Dadan."
"It's up to you."
Storm left his own for Ace Phone bug contact details.
"When you decide to go to sea, contact me.
"I will come to pick you up. "
Ace took the string of numbers, and then looked up at the blue-eyed white dragon and flew away.
After a while.
The blue-eyed white dragon disappeared into the sky.
Ace also completely digested the barbecued meat from the King of the Sea that he just ate.
He stood up, looked around, and suddenly discovered a big problem.
How to get back to Dawn Island without a boat?
